BROAD CITY

Watch Hillary Clinton Make Her Big Broad City Entrance

If a Hillary Clinton cameo on Broad City sounded like some kind of fantasy, rest assured that series creators and stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer must have felt the same way. Because in this video of Clinton's appearance, above, from Wednesday night’s episode, Jacobson and Glazer scripted her a full slo-mo fantasy sequence complete with fabulous pantsuit and winks all around.

Take a look as Abbi and Ilana tour Clinton’s campaign headquarters, where the latter has been volunteering. “She's walked on these floors. She's breathed this air—take it in,” Ilana says.

“Yeah, that is power,” Abbi responds. “Smells like confidence.”

After Joe Scarborough’s recent tweeted request that Clinton “smile” after her big primary win, Wednesday’s Broad City appearance felt even more timely. This is how you respond to strangers demanding that you smile, as Abbi and Ilana have taught us.

At their recent SXSW panel, Jacobson and Glazer revealed how they landed the cameo—through their executive producer Amy Poehler, who has a contact within the campaign.

During the conversation, Jacobson downplayed any political significance to the cameo. “I think that we were not trying to make a political statement,” she said. “Our writing process is that we wrote season three a year ago, and we weren't like—that's not our show, really—‘Let's make a political stance here.’ It's really more that this is something that Ilana's character would do. And Hillary, even regardless of where we stand—and we love Hillary—Hillary is such an iconic figure.”
